rootless docker, mount volume /var/log:ro or /proc:ro -> operation not permitted: unknown #42090

Description

Mounting /var/log or /proc in read-only results in error with rootless docker (might be the same issue as there ?).
Quick but dirty fix: remove read-only.
Question: is there a better way to solve this ?

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. docker-compose.yml:
version: "3.8"
services:

  test_proc:
    image: hello-world
    volumes:
      - /proc:/procfolder:ro

  test_log:
    image: hello-world
    volumes:
      - /var/log:/logfolder:ro
  1. $ docker-compose up -d test_proc test_log

Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):
Can be solved by removing :ro, but this doesn't feel like a good practice.
